Jose Mourinho has hailed Willian as a player of ‘outstanding quality’ amid speculation he is plotting a move for the Chelsea winger.

The Brazil international has struggled to win over his current manager Antonio Conte and admitted he held talks with Mourinho last summer over a move to Old Trafford.

Willian has been in superb form since the turn of the year but has rarely seen eye-to-eye with Conte and was seen storming down the tunnel when he was substituted during last month’s FA Cup semi final win over Southampton.
